Default Softail bobber project

Hi All,

I'm stoked to share my new softail bobber project with you all. Just picked her up last night. She's a 1996 Heritage thats been stripped down. The PO did some work on her and now she is mine. S&S carb, Andrews cam, and rest is raw.

I'm inspire by all the amazing machines I've seen on here.

Been a long time lurker and researcher. Definetly this is the true resouce for Harley's.

Here's a pic of the new bike on the trailer. I'll be asking a lot of questions of the gurus here. Thank you in advance!!!!

That thing looks good. I want to take the front fender off my heritage. Just not sure about it though...

You will have a good time turning it into your own machine.

Thanks everyone!
I'm feeling pretty good about this project.

Not 100% as to where I want this ones to go. I'm inspired by the low, bikes I've seen here and what is coming out of the Japanese scene as well as Exile and Todd's Cycles.
I've always loved Kevin Baas's knucklehead. Maybe you can see some similarities with this bike.



My buddy gave me the floorboards from his old softy so I'm gonna start there.
Plus i want a wire rear wheel.
Also thinking low bars (drags or tracker style). Already have tall bars on my RK and I've satisfied that itch.
